I know I am.... The war department has called me that a few times...

Too bad you both don't wear the same size heels, built in collection to wear!

Was wondering the same thing....

No, they just know me for wearing my plain ol Tony Lama cowboy boots to work

Funny you should mention this. I met one of my superiors in the parking lot, while waiting for other coworkers to arrive. It was cold, I opened the back door to climb in her car and get out of the cold. She apologized for all the heels and a great pair of booties that were laying in the footwell where I climbed in..."That's quite alright..." I said, "great heels indeed"....

This internet thing is often a "bully pulpit" making it too easy for folks with issues to lash out....

So many variables to consider when offering "constructive criticism" indeed. I guess so much depends on your relationship with those receiving the criticism and the place (online/in person/email etc) the criticism will be offered. You are right of course, offering insincere positive comments may not be doing that person any favors. I do my best not to offer "phony compliments", tend to just say little or nothing when I see something that does not look good to me. I remember this stern advice the parents would give when we were kids. And, I must keep in mind, everyone's taste (especially in heels) is different, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.... In the case of guys in heels, one must also consider where a fellow is on his heeling journey. It is hard enough for a guy to muster the courage to go against idiotic societal norms in order to explore fashions he has only secretly admired in the past, I tend to err on the side of encouragement in cases like this.

Well said brother. Valid complaint and observation indeed. There was just this one section of his photos/videos I was referring to, and that is the "booted" section. And yes, looks like there were only about four different pairs of boots. Nonetheless, I did like the many different wardrobe styles he paired with the otherwise small collection of boots.

so true. sometimes less is more

I'm not afraid to admit it, I love watching mindless TV shows like "Vanderpump Rules". Yeah, I know, it's phony stuff staged for ratings, but I watch this stuff just the same... I have always admired "Tom Sandoval", he takes great pride in his appearance, and always puts pleny of effort into all his outfits. I'm not crazy about Tom's drag outfit, he has done better, but he is killing it in those ankle boots! vanderpump rules tom in drag boots - Google Search
